Gee, it's lucky it would be able to lift it.
Having extra cover on your road service gives one a sense of security. It's certainly better than trying to do patch ups to try and get home or worse still, having to abandon it to go and get a trailer or the like.

Its like a nostalgic ad for the RACV. They should pay you to carry that around on their trailer.

Bad luck mate. Not the kind of thing you expect to happen, but an easy fix too!

RACV fee already paid for itself in one tow. I may have to put them on speed dial on phone. :lol:
